[Nagios-users] best solution for configuration changes
I was thinking of some convoluted solution for users to configure "their" configuration files and them diffed or uniqed to the original with that being saved and then the newly updated config file to be copied over the old one and nagios reloaded, etc., etc.. BUT, I figure there has to be a better way. What I have for host config files are: windows.cfg net.cfg resources.cfg unix.cfg security.cfg Each of those host config files has a group of people associated with them - and I'll need to break out the services.cfg file the same way. I haven't added a user to the system either - and I'm not even sure what the best way of doing that! The end result of what ever I do allows, for instance, people in the security group to modify /etc/nagios/security_hosts.cfg and /etc/nagios/security_svcs.cfg, and the changes would be saved somewhere (repository or log file or whatever), and then nagios service would be reloaded. Suggestions? Solutions? It'd be great if this could be done via a/the web interface but I haven't found one that works that well yet - and I still am not sure how to provide users with a login/pw that they can change upon the next log on (obviously I'm not an expert linux admin)! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Net-SNMP and SNMPTT
Interestingly, mine is set to daemon mode even though it is also called by snmptrapd.conf. Other than that, I don't see many differences between the two. The question is, what are you wanting to do with these traps when you get them - just log them? If that's the case you can try lessing the severity level of traps that get logged...? The ini file mentions that this is definined the snmptt.conf file and I have not done that myself. You said you were seeing traps being received in the syslog file so apparently net-snmp is working enough to receive the traps right?

Re: [Nagios-users] Net-SNMP and SNMPTT
What's your config look like? I found stuff on the 'Net for what I wanted to do, and unless you can do the same it can be a struggle. For snmptrapd.conf I have one line: traphandle default /usr/sbin/snmptthandler For snmptt, snmptt.conf, I have the events I'm looking for and the commands I want to run on those events.

Looking at the log file, it appears to only get touched when this script tries starting a new process. Obviously, I need to either spread out the time I check the log file or have Nagios hit the log file more regularly. In the main config file I have it set to log to syslog and the NetAlarm log file, and to log everything that is available in that config. I didn't see a debug option - perhaps that's something you do from the command line - but is this the best way to go? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Nagios-users] nagios bailing out log messages - cause now known
I'm running "nagios_spawn.sh" from crontab every 5 minutes. This
script, provided by - I believe - someone on this list (thank you)
uses the check_nagios command to verify that nagios is running. For
some reason, it appears as though every other time this script is ran
(every ten minutes) it fails and tries to spawn a new Nagios process
which fails and gives me the "Lockfile /blah is help by PID blah.
Bailing out..." messages.
So I guess the question now is, why would this check fail every ten minutes?
The script:
#!/bin/bash
plugindir="/usr/local/nagios/libexec"
cmdstart="/etc/init.d/nagios start"
#Check nagios with check_nagios plugin
$plugindir/check_nagios -e 5 -F /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log -C
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
if [ "${?}" != 0 ] ; then
echo "CRITICAL:Nagios not found running..."
$cmdstart
else
echo "OK:Nagios runnning..."
fi
exit

Doing what you suggest I see that it IS running the notification,
except that the quotation marks are lost (which my external app
actually needs - so maybe I can double them up?) and none of the
variables have been filled in within the quotes that are there
(perhaps because it was an echo, and the echo command wiill take
anything with quotes as strings?).

I have a notification configured to run an app and pass it Nagios parameters.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Strategies
One of the things Tivoli had promised to provide our company was end-to-end insight of our Java applications. It doesn't work. Any product that does this is going to be difficult to create, implement or administer. In our case, the easiest method for verifying the uptime and performance of our applications is to have our developers build it into the application. If you only want to know about the interactions between services on various servers then I would guess you'll need to use those same communication lines (whether that be a protocol, port, or physical network) and do some check writing. Obviously simply checking that the service is up on the individual can only tell you that the service is running - not that its not communicating or having a communication problem. I'm not sure how to represent this in Nagios, though. For my part, I've created a host group for a specific customer. The members of this group are all the network devices this customer touches in the process of working with us. Its not visually represented but it does give me a customer specific availability report. On 12/27/06, Todd Mcneill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was thinking of something a little more detailed.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Strategies
I'm not sure on the ease, but it seems like it should be doable now for any service/application for which you can run a Nagios check against. The parent being the system (ping?), the next some base OS subsystem, next the app that depends on it (log file checks or some other homegrown verification), etc.. Right? Or am I over-simplifying the issue? I do this, as do a lot of us I'm sure, in a very simple form now. Nagios checks that my cacti server is up by checking the host, apache then the cacti log - and they appear that way on the map as well.

I've played with a couple of reporting scripts from nagios exchange - with little success.

Or, conversely and probably preffered, a list of outages for each host in a particular hostgroup?

In other words, pings taking too long or one or two failures might mean the network between Nagios and device is congested or having issues not relating directly with that device. This is important to know but it might also clear up by next check. If all pings fail completely, that's a good indication the device has gone down and I want to be alerted immediately to that.

[Nagios-users] alert time
So, for a noob, whats the easiest way to make sure a host alert is sent the FIRST time Nagios doesn't get a response to a ping? Perhaps it should be a service alert - but either way, you get my meaning. I don't want to wait 15 minutes to find out a router went down. Not EXACTLY sure how to fix it though since the service command line has thresholds and I don't necessarily want to get pages the first time a ping takes 300ms. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Nagios-users] IBM Director

Re: [Nagios-users] (No output!) Errors in Nagios 2.4
Assuming you stop/started the service after modifying your hosts and services config files, is it possible you used the rc/init script? Have you killed the service (with the kill command) and then restarted it yet? I'd try that... I was under the impression that nagios will spawn more processes during checks so that it can check several hosts at a time.

Again, I need to look at my configs. I'm thinking that in my host{}
definitions I have the dns name for "name" (perhaps thats the entry)
and IP for hostaddress... Definately going to have to check this out.

Re: [Nagios-users] nmap
Couldn't you write a script that diffs nmap results and report "0" if diff doesn't come back with anything and "1" otherwise? nmap could be cronned to run hourly - or so - and the results diffed with a baseline file resulting in the code which nagios can cat... or something.
